Caol Ila 13 Year Old 2007 (cask CM269) - The Golden Cask (House of Macduff)
Caol Ila
Tasting Notes
This Caol Ila 13 Year Old 2007 from House of Macduff's The Golden Cask range is a true embodiment of Islay's rugged character. Distilled in December 2007 and aged for 13 years in a bourbon cask, it unveils an intriguing tapestry of aromas and flavors. The nose greets you with tarry ropes, charred pineapple, a hint of cinnamon, and a touch of flint, hinting at the maritime and peaty delights to come. On the palate, it unfolds layers of oat cakes, salty bread crusts, and toasted brown sugar, followed by a slow build of seaweed and smokiness, capturing the essence of Islay's shores. The finish lingers with waxy lemon peel and sea salt, leaving a refreshing and salty memory on the taste buds. This limited release of 263 bottles is a cracking Caol Ila, showcasing the distillery's bold and coastal spirit.
